Just a little friendly advice from a service guy...

Check/Change air filter

Hose off your condenser with a hose and some simple green. Mulch and grass clippings clog up the condenser and restrict air flow.

Don’t let your wife lower the t-stat to 60*. It doesn’t make it blower harder or colder. Units are designed for 20* split. 85* in 65* coming out the vent, if your lucky.

Unless you have recently updated to the newer 410A refrigerant, your system is probably R22. R22 Condensers and Coils are very hard to come by (if at all) so if your unit craps out you will most likely have to replace your entire cooling system.

Also if your unit is in the attic make sure the drain is clear, it’s going to be condensating a lot and the pan will overflow if you don’t have a trip switch and line clogs up.

Just some friendly advice, I’m sure the other HVAC guys can attested to this. Stay cool, and if you have any questions I’ll answer as best as I can.
